Bumping this because it's started happening in a pretty popular thread, too. t/545621
p/5600025
Just so everyone knows what is missing
I can confirm this,
tried posting in thread t/105117 and I got the error.
However, I saw my post being posted in https://new.ppy.sh/forum/t/105117?n=66440
despite the error.
Edit: Seems like it still posts fine even if the error shows up.
Tried again, but this time in the new website, and it worked flawlessly.
Seems like you can post in the new.ppy, so I'd suggest you post there instead.
Update: Posting will give you that error on OP
The error is
So it's only in the old forum that has this problem. The new works fine.
2nd update:
This has happened in this thread mysteriously t/520964
The error is still the same, except for the language in "pl"
Evidence
However, since it only shows as pl, meaning it's likely the former (from the OP)
3rd update:
As from above, from here url=https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/t/51694 receives the error.

Could not find email template file [ language/es/email/topic_notify.txt ]

Could not find email template file [ language/pl/email/topic_notify.txt ]
Evidence
- The 1st thread had "es" in the error, which probably means Español
- The 2nd thread had "pl" and the OP is from Poland

Well, the error message in this case is surprisingly helpful. It's a part of the phpBB system.
As a point of reference, we can actually see that this file exists:
language/en/email/topic_notify.txt
And you can see that this file DOESN'T exist:
language/es/email/topic_notify.txt
Nor do any of the other language files. You can look around for other files, and you'll see that English's pretty comprehensive, but the other languages don't really exist.
I actually think there aren't any language files period except for English. I've always remembered this forum, since 2007, only having British English as the choice:
And phpbb offers ways to install other language packs, so if one is properly installed, it should show up. So I think it's just the default language only.
So what would be the next question would be why has this been popping up recently. Perhaps there was a recent change that makes the phpbb forums assume language localization for other users? I really don't know since I've always been in the US.
I think really the only ways of fixing it would be for someone with access to the admin panel to install those language packs, or to find why phpbb is going to another localization for that user with emails and to disable that. It's likely some administrative configuration or something under the hood.

Since a while ago we came to the conclusion that this happened when the user clicked on the Notify me when a reply is posted button, which is probably still the case here. Notice in the post that Lyawi linked, the problem started happening after-Starrodkirby86 wrote:
Well, the error is straightforward. It's missing the email localization text necessary to send out to a user using Spanish that someone replied to their topic (that being language/es/email/topic_notify.txt). It should only trigger when someone with Spanish forum language has "Notify me when a reply is posted" checked or has that by default (i.e. subscribing to a thread).
This user posted
So I'm assuming the user checked the Notify me when a reply is posted button when they posted.
Yeah, I did write about it earlier. I just wanted to look into it further by looking at the phpbb system a little more. I felt something was a bit weird since I never remembered being able to change your language, yet they're looking for that language.
But I don't really think there's many people that are or would want to actually look inside the phpbb site's innards. Why should you? It's been running for years just fine, and editing something internally is bad. So that's why I'm thinking it's some configuration flag in the admin panel or somewhere like that, since some users have admin panel access.

Well something definitely changed because the reason it works on the new website (I think) is because you actually are allowed to change your language there whereas on the current website you can't do that so the certain language packs used are missing.
So if a user on the new website subscribes to a topic with the certain language selected than the old website will try and look for the language template and since it isn't there it ends up giving the constant error message. Or maybe I'm wrong?

Aha, that might very well be it. It could be due to the fact you can change your localization on the new website, it inadvertently registers that user to have that localization for the language. However, the default forum package for phpbb only has English (en). Since osu! doesn't rely on the forum system to send out emails and things like that, we never really see that problem happen... Except when it's notifying the user when a reply is posted.
The languages definitely match up. This seems like a case where the old phpbb system is having some porting problems with the new. I don't know if it'll get fixed anytime soon then except for someone who has access to the web server's forum files manually adding them, or installing the language packs for those other fellows. But that requires much more access, which should be very, very limited to begin with.
Maybe something should be re-implemented instead so that we don't even need to call phpbb's notification system? Take that out of the mix.

I think the thread title isn't accurate. I don't recall ever subscribing to any threads nor pressing the Notify me when a reply is posted button when posting and I still get that error message almost everytime I post. I also never used the new website to post or to do anything at all. Am I missing something?
It'd still go into effect when at least one person who set their localization to non-EN in new.ppy.sh is subscribed to the thread. When the post is sent, phpbb sends out the notification email to all users who opted in, reaching the error when one of these subscribed users have a localization that isn't EN.
At least, I imagine that... further testing could be appreciated, but I think most of the crux of the error has already been found out. Once this website switches over to the new forum system and all that jazz, this problem should supposedly disappear, since the new site doesn't care about that.

In short, it's the other users who subscribed that's causing the problem.Starrodkirby86 wrote:

Awesome! Hmm, so what happens if I change my language and do the notification stuff now? 
EDIT: COME AT ME, I'M ON ESPANOL MODE
EDIT: COME AT ME, I'M ON ESPANOL MODE
they will still be in english. the new site may support language-speicific notifications going forward, but this one won't.
And the email's been sent in English. All good here. 
I'd like to think on your end when you made the reply, it worked all fine and dandy without an angry Pippi.

yep
Yeah, it's working fine for me. I'm not seeing that error screen anymore, and it seems other Spanish users aren't as well.
Many thanks!
Many thanks!
Yass finally
